Dasd Elementary Orchestra DASD ELEMENTARY ORCHESTRA 2019-2020 HANDBOOK FOR RETURNING STUDENTS ALL ABOUT ORCHESTRA GENERAL POLICY 1. It is the policy of the school that a student must have passing grades in order to participate in the string orchestra program. 2. During the school year, if a student’s teachers believe he/she is significantly behind in class work due to lessons, we will arrange for a parent/teacher conference to discuss what options are best for the student at that time. LESSON SCHEDULE AND ATTENDANCE 1. 30 minute lessons are held once a week, but at a different time each week so that students do not always miss the same class. Students take lessons in small groups based on their instrument selection. Typical class sizes can be anywhere from 1-12 students in a group. 2. RESPONSIBILITY is on the students to attend each lesson and arrive on time, and to make up any missed class work. 3. Students may reschedule their lesson time if they have a test, project, or presentation during their original lesson time. 4. If a student is absent or becomes ill in school, it is an excused absence. I will send the assignment directly to the student’s family. 5. If a student forgets to attend his/her lesson time, they must come to me immediately and may make it up at another lesson time. 6. If a student forgets to attend his/her lesson and does not notify me, the absence will be considered unexcused. Families will be notified if this happens. 7. I may reschedule lessons due to assemblies, school wide assessments, and special school events. If I am absent, lessons are cancelled. 8. It is the responsibility of the student’s family to provide transportation to our early morning orchestra rehearsals. If a student misses a rehearsal but attends school, a note is required. If a student is absent from a rehearsal and school, the absence is automatically excused. Two or more unexcused absences from rehearsals will jeopardize whether or not the student can perform in the concert. A parent/teacher conference will be scheduled if this happens. 9. If there is a snow day on a “B Day” the following day when students return to school would be “B Day,” which means that lessons would be held on a different calendar date, but the same cycle day. I will contact families with reminders of cycle days due to bad weather, and will adjust the schedule if needed. 10. If there is a two hour delay on an orchestra day, the rehearsal is automatically cancelled. However lessons will still occur during the afternoon hours on a condensed schedule and students should bring their instruments and music to school! PRACTICE AND GRADING 1. Students are encouraged to practice at least 15-20 minutes daily. A minimum of 100 minutes of practice a week is highly encouraged. 2. Each student will be given a form to write down their homework assignments each week. They DO NOT have to write down their practice times at home. 3. Each week students receive a performance grade at their lesson. (A, B, C, or D) Students will also have informal assessments during lessons and formal assessments on their concert music. All grades will be posted on Infinite Campus. Families will be notified prior to any assessments that may occur. Families will be contacted in weekly email blasts regarding schedules, activities, and assessments in orchestra. 4. Families will be contacted if there is a concern regarding the student’s practice at home and/or performance in class and on assessments. 5. Students receive a grade for orchestra EVERY trimester this year on the report cards. CURRICULUM Returning string orchestra students will be working in levels two and three of the DASD orchestra curriculum. Students will review basic instrument technique including left hand position and finger patterns. Students will learn new articulations with the bow. Students will learn basic music theory skills such as learning how to read musical notation on a staff. Musical expression, cultural influence, critical analysis, various styles, and preparations for performances are included in the curriculum as well. Technology is used in the music classroom as a tool for learning. Mathematics skills are an integral part of music too! Students who learn how to play a musical instrument work on math, reading, aural, and kinesthetic skills in class! Copies of the elementary orchestra curriculum summary are available upon request. PERFORMANCES Returning elementary orchestra students perform together on stage multiple times a year! Evening performances include annual winter and spring concerts, art shows, and Barnes and Noble Book Fair Concerts, and other special events! ACTIVITY FEE DASD charges a $25.00 activity fee for all music students. The $25.00 fee includes band, chorus, and orchestra. If your child participates in more than one music activity, no problem! The fee is $25.00 total for all elementary music activities. This fee is paid through www.payforit.net. More information regarding fees is available at www.dasd.org. All fees are due by Friday, October 25, 2019. INSTRUMENT RENTALS 1. VIOLINS and VIOLAS, and CELLOS may be rented through a music store. 2. CELLOS are not allowed to be taken on the school bus. I will keep a DASD owned cello at school for your child to use during lessons, and the cello that you rent from the store would stay at home for practice. 3. BASSES are available through DASD for $150.00 per year without insurance, which means that you would receive the invoice for any repairs that are needed while the bass is in your care. I will send you a contract. Each student will receive a bass to take home for practice, and a different bass (no fee) will remain at the school for lesson use. If there are more bass players than available school basses, some families may be asked to rent a bass through a music store for home use. 4. You may obtain an instrument through any music store that you wish. However, the music stores listed below have representatives who come to the schools on a weekly basis. If you order online through one of these stores, the instrument and supplies will be sent directly to your child’s school. 5. Each store has a different length of contract, pricing, and terms. Moretti’s in Downingtown rents instruments! They do not have a rep come to our schools but you can rent directly from the store: Moretti’s Music-610-873-6852, http://www.morettimusic.net 6. Please note, that it is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT that students begin their music lessons on an instrument that works properly. The DASD music department HIGHLY SUGGESTS using a MUSIC STORE for an instrument rental. BEWARE of other discounted online offers that are NOT from music stores, as those instruments usually arrive in need of repairs that EXCEED the value of the instrument itself. LESSON BOOKS The method book that we use for first and second year students (3rd and 4th grade) is entitled “Simply Strings.” All of our area music stores have this book in stock. Third year students (5th grade) will use the book “Essential Elements for Strings, Level 2.” Mrs. Baer will contact parents when the 5th graders are ready to order this book! PLEASE PURCHASE A BOOK WHEN YOU RENT THE INSTRUMENT. MUSIC STANDS A music stand is needed for all students to be able to practice at home. PLEASE PURCHASE A MUSIC STAND WHEN YOU RENT THE INSTRUMENT. SUPPLIES Instruments that are delivered to the schools should include these supplies in the case. If you go to the music store to pick up the instrument, please be sure that you are receiving these supplies. Students who are renting a cello or bass from DASD will be provided with all of these supplies, although they will need to purchase a book and a music stand from the store. 1. Rosin: This is applied to the bow in order to produce a sound, and it comes in a small plastic container. 2. Fingertapes: Tapes on the fingerboard used for finger placement. 3. Cleaning Cloth: This is a soft cloth to wipe down the instrument after playing. 4. Shoulder Rest or Sponge: (violin and viola only) This is used to place under the chin rest, so the instrument may be held with the correct posture but without neck irritation. 5. Endpin holder: (cello and bass only) This is a round rubber disk or a strap used to keep endpin in place so it does not slide on a hard floor.

This is why in this paper we will be looking at how music can influence one’s purchasing behaviour. This is because music is able to influence one’s mood. Furthermore there are some benefits to playing music in stores. Plus there are certain types of music for certain target market and in this paper, it will be revealed which type of market prefers what type of music. Also the age of the customer and the type of music being played in the store also has a relationship. Music can also lead to an increase in one’s sales level. The type of music is important and so are the tempo, pitch and volume of the music. Besides that, the store environment that includes a couple of features like the light and color of the store is rather important. Not to forget the layout of the store. The store environment and layout also plays a part in attracting and making sales for the store.

July 2011 © 2011 Beverley Laundry Abstract In this thesis we present the design and prototype implementation of a Digital Music Stand that focuses on fluid music layout management and free-form digital ink annotation. An analysis of user constraints and available technology lead us to select a 21.5‖ multi-touch monitor as the preferred input and display device. This comfortably displays two A4 pages of music side by side with space for a control panel. The analysis also identified single handed input as a viable choice for musicians. Finger input was chosen to avoid the need for any additional input equipment.

  • Money for Something: Music Licensing in the 21St Century
    Money for Something: Music Licensing in the 21st Century Updated February 23, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R43984 SUMMARY R43984 Money for Something: Music Licensing in the February 23, 2021 21st Century Dana A. Scherer Songwriters and recording artists are generally entitled to receive compensation for Specialist in (1) reproductions, distributions, and public performances of the notes and lyrics they create (the Telecommunications musical works), as well as (2) reproductions, distributions, and certain digital public Policy performances of the recorded sound of their voices combined with instruments (the sound recordings). The amount they receive, as well as their control over their music, depends on market forces, contracts between a variety of private-sector entities, and laws governing copyright and competition policy. Who pays whom, as well as who can sue whom for copyright infringement, depends in part on the mode of listening to music. Congress enacted several major updates to copyright laws in 2018 in the Orrin G. Hatch-Bob Goodlatte Music Modernization Act (MMA; P.L. 115-264). The MMA modified copyright laws related to the process of granting and receiving statutory licenses for the reproduction and distribution of musical works (known as “mechanical licenses”). The law set forth terms for the creation of a nonprofit “mechanical licensing collective” through which owners of copyrights in musical works could collect royalties from online music services. The law also changed the standards used by a group of federal administrative law judges, the Copyright Royalty Board, to set royalty rates for some statutory copyright licenses, as well as the standards used by a federal court to set rates for licenses to publicly perform musical works offered by two organizations representing publishers and composers, ASCAP and BMI.

  • Competitiveness in the Music Industry a Study of the Swedish Music Companies
    J ÖNKÖPING I NTERNATIONAL B USINESS S C H O O L JÖNKÖPING UNIVERSITY Competitiveness in the Music Industry A study of the Swedish Music Companies Paper within Business Administration Author: Anders Berg Jörgen Fransson Fredrik Sörendal Tutor: Elena Raviola & Annette Johansson Jönköping January 2007 Bachelor thesis in Business Administration Title: Competitiveness in the Music Industry: A study of the Swedish Music Companies Authors: Berg, Anders; Fransson, Jörgen; Sörendal, Fredrik Tutors: Raviola, Elena and Johansson, Anette Date: 2007-01-15 Subject terms: Technological Change, Sustainable Competitive Advantage, the Music Companies. Abstract Problem: The music industry has experienced a significant technological change, leav- ing the music companies with a new way of distributing music. The sale of physical products (i.e. the CD) has decreased, and the industry has seen a steady increase in digital music. In this period of technological change, how are the four major music companies, EMI, SonyBMG, Warner Music Group and Universal Music to create a competitive advantage? Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to study and analyze how the traditional music companies are creating a sustainable competitive advantage in a technologi- cally changing environment. Method: A qualitative approach, following the logic of a case study, has been used to answer the purpose. Interviews with new media managers at the four major music companies have been conducted. Furthermore, an interview with the mobile phone operator 3 was conducted since the company is one of the biggest customers to the music companies using the new technology. In or- der to avoid a biased study, we also interviewed Robert Picard at JIBS and Kris Serian at Warner Home Video who both have extensive experience in the media industry.
